Medan, A Marvellous City

Medan, a warm city nearby the sea, is the capital of north sumatera province. Medan is the third biggest metropolitan city in Indonesia behind Jakarta and Surabaya. This city is very large and dwelt by multiple society that has been predominated by 3 ethnic groups, Bataknese, Javanese and Chinese, whereas the real ethnic group dwelt Medan, Malay, have been moved
to uptown of Medan. That's a flash about Medan.




As a city which was built by Guru Patimpus since 17th centuries, Medan has various interesting and historical sites. Two of the most famous sites are Maimoon palace and Medan Great mosque. Maimoon palace used to be home for Malay's king also as the center of Malay empire governance. Maimoon palace has a huge yard and hundreds rooms indeed filled with the goods ommitted by Malay's king. While Medan Great Mosque used to be the only one mosque in Malay empire. It's placed nearby from Maimoon palace, it's only about 200 metres. In this mosque, all of empire's activities had been hold.

Medan not only has historical buildings that beautifying Medan, but also gardens. Since led Abdillah, Medan has been decorated with various gardens. For me, two of the most beautiful gardens are Mandiri garden, which is located at Jl. Sudirman and Golden garden, which is located at Jl. Gatot Subroto. Both of them has their own wonderful fountain that almost alike with fountain that located in Bunderan HI Jakarta. They are so beautiful, especially they are ornamented with colourful lamps and a great tower.

Really, Medan is a marvellous city.

Good.
